Support tag in GH action config

[rantoniuk]

--commit and --tag are supported separately, i.e. I can run a release on a non-PyPi project that does not require any source code changes and just create a tag and pushing it when doing a release.

This is possible in the tool:
https://python-semantic-release.readthedocs.io/en/latest/commands.html#tag-no-tag

but it's not possible in GH action, as there is only commit option available:
https://github.com/python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release/blob/master/action.yml#L53
and no tag option.

That is a good catch, thank you. I did need to up date it. It is not easy keeping up with the action config as there isn't real testing for it.

@rantoniuk , would you try out this fix and see if it works for you?

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    concurrency: release
    permissions:
      id-token: write
      contents: write

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0

    - name: Python Semantic Release
      uses: codejedi365/python-semantic-release@fix/gha-missing-tag-option
      with:
        github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        commit: false
        tag: true
        # ...

Thanks for quick reply. Actually I tested it using the current version and it works without that patch as expected, i.e. it creates a tag but does not push any commits.
I left a PR comment as well :)

I realize now that really it's because the default is --commit and --tag. If you just turn off commit with commit: false then it is implicitly --tag, but there is no explicit option to toggle the tag flag via the GitHub Action until my PR. So the PR gives the explicit ability to toggle the tag and commit options separately.

@codejedi365 thanks for swift action!

Quick question, how do you auto-comment the related github issues to add the release information (above)? I looked at your github workflows but I don't see anything related to this and this is a very useful thing!

Manual copy and paste! lol!

I copied the template from the JS version of semantic-release, which auto-posts messages like these for all issues that were resolved, because of how awesome it is. One day, PSR will too.
